Interested in propagating and preserving native southeastern plant species in the landscape? The annual Cullowhee Native Plant Conference is THE place to be! Both professionals and laypersons stand to gain valuable knowledge from the plethora of field trips, lectures, and workshops on offer.

Held at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina, located between the Great Smoky and Blue Ridge mountains, approximately fifty miles west of Asheville, the conference is close to both the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In addition to the chock-full program schedule, informal sessions allow participants to exchange ideas, and attendees are encouraged to bring materials they wish to share.

Registration is now open. While a number of the field trips are already full, there are still more than enough workshops and talks to make the trip well worth your while!
